I have a permanent notification:
"Tune In Radio Pro Is Running".
How do I get rid of this, without affecting the functionality of the app? (I want it to show a notification when I am listening to something).
Is this possible?

Did you look for the app in system>apps and disable notifications?
I have this same issue. I clear notifications but they come back. I deselect show notifications in system settings and get the same notification later. The only way to stop it is to turn it off in the app settings if there is one.

Ah. I have 2 apps that run in background that do NOT show these persistent notifications... They both happen to implement a user setting for notification priority (which I have set to lowest/no icon). Co-incidence? Maybe we need some app changes...
You can find the answer here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/05/17/light-flow-update-teases-new-version-of-android-may-require-persistent-notifications-for-some-tasks/
Crappy news none the less.
Apps were always supposed to show that notification when running in the foreground since they can have a huge impact on device performance and battery life.

A foreground service is a service that's considered to be something the user is actively aware of and thus not a candidate for the system to kill when low on memory. A foreground service must provide a notification for the status bar, which is placed under the "Ongoing" heading, which means that the notification cannot be dismissed unless the service is either stopped or removed from the foreground.
That's the problem I think. What we consider as background apps are now behaving like foreground apps. As said previously it's an app problem. Had one fixed already

I posted this in that Google+ thread, but would be interested in what folk here think:
---
So what's the proper way to do this now (stop apps you want from being killed yet never show a notification)? Is it possible?
There are several utility/monitor type apps that the user would want never killed. But to have a persistent notification gets in the way of 'normal' notifications (aesthetically) and makes the status bar and notification shade look very busy. Would it not be better to allow the user to set that persistent notifications don't show for selected apps of their choosing?

You may be able to still raise the background threads priority with android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(), but I haven't tried it from a service yet. Even without it you should still be okay though unless the system needs to free up some memory.
You can also tell the system your service needs to be restarted asap with START_STICKY or START_REDELIVER_INTENT.

Have Persistent Notifications After You Upgrade To Android 4.3
Posted by Bertel King, Jr. in News
Anyone who has made the jump to Android 4.3, which admittedly isn't that many people right now, may have noticed that some applications now plant persistent notifications in the status bar. We offered this as a disclaimer in our post about manually updating a Nexus 4 to Android 4.3. Turns out, this is completely intentional. Android now forces persistent notifications on unkillable apps that run silently in the background. This is an attempt to call attention to behavior that isn't quite okay.
Notifications3
Many developers have made their applications impossible to kill and don't alert users to the fact that they're still running. They do this by creating a malformed notification object that doesn't appear in the status bar but still tricks the activity manager into allowing the service to enter the foreground. This is great for snooping, but that doesn't mean that only malicious apps adopt this behavior. As Artem's screenshots show below, the Network Monitor Mini Pro was one offender, but the developer has since updated the app to fix the problem.
Notifications1 Notifications2
While Android developers originally wanted to force quit apps that submit malformed notifications, there are simply too many out there for this to be a usable approach. Instead, Android will alert users to the offending apps, and developers will probably be inclined to change their software once users stop using their products and/or bring public shaming down on their heads. Hopefully the bulk of them will have been fixed by the time most phones make the jump to the latest version of Jelly Bean.

Totally lame. I have an app that silently runs in the background all the time and I know this. I don't need Android reminding me of this every time I swipe my notifications menu down.

Open Tunein, go to settings, scroll to bottom, and disable receive push notifications. This removes the persistent notification.
Edit:
Comes back after a reboot.

If you do the research you will see that the current super users are using a temporary work around to get it working as SUID is now blocked. You can even read the debate about it on may of the expert developers Google plus pages. Root is bearly working completely while we wait for a perm fix to be found.

I have some app making post to my status bar. not sure what it is. Is there a log file I can view on the status bar or a way to enable logging for it. I also had a request for root from "unknown" that I denied.Anyway to tracelog that request? not sure if the two are from same source but both issues happened within 24 hours. I have received 7 ads to my status bar referring me to specials and deals on internet. thanks.
update: I installed log viewer (log cat) from market and cant find anything related in status bar logs. It all started when I but blur.res.2.3.3 into "freeze" with titanium and my log files were through the roof of requests to it. since it's no longer their perhaps an app is using a direct method? forgive me for being a newbie on this topic.

Download airpush detector from the market. It will identify the offending spammer app.
As for the request for root, I don't know.
that app suggested I install "addons detector" in market instead. My son loaded "temple run" on my phone. I'm gonna load his bed up with the dirty dishes he left on the table this morning. lol thanks for the help.

(or disintegrate slowly as they do)
Ad Push detection
Lookout has a good app that is specifically designed to detect ad networks and show ones that push ads to the notification bar. On my computer we call this type of thing "ad-ware." Anyway, I have found this app to be extremely effective at detecting multiple types of advertisement besides push ads.
So after being a long time apple user and long time iTunes hater ... I managed to sell my iphone 4 and bought a samsung galaxy S4, did the same for my other half...
Keep in mind, this is a brand new, no-root, default phone.
The issue basically is notifications, for whatsapp ( at the moment since I haven't set up anything else that requires push, besides gmail). The issue is once I turned the screen off, either manually or by itself. whatsapp notifications randomly stop arriving until I turned on the screen, completely close the app and open it again, the same goes for 2 other devices ( 3 in total), this happens with wifi or mobile data
Device #1. new s4,
Device #2 new s4
Device #3 Samsung galaxy young running 4.1.2 JB.
Now, device #3 belongs to a friend of mine who told of these issues a couple of months ago, however I did pay attention as I just figured it was network connection or wifi or whatever be it.
I've googled the hell out of this and it is apparently an android issue:
it's not telco related in my case, because i had NO ISSUES on my iphone 4 nor my best half's 4s.
Anyway, hopefully someone here has been through something similar and been able to fix it? I've searched the forums and there's apparently a widespread issue, but not fix as of 4.2.2?

Hi,
I just recently switched to a samsung galaxy s4 ( two actually, one for me,
one for GF), before that we used iphone 4 and 4s, never had an issue with
whatsapp notifications until I switched this passed friday. The issue is
once the phone goes into sleep mode, be it mobile data or wifi, I have to
force close the app and open again to receive notifications that I got
hours ago if I don't continously check.
I've googled the hell out of it and found your FAQ, as well as plenty other
sites with the same issue except no solution.
From your FAQ:
1. tried re-installing directly from direct download link (
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk) and not from play
store
2. tried rebooting.
3. notifications are set properly
4. google+ is disabled ( hangouts) ( tried enabling it, same result)
5. Wifi is set to always on.
Note this is on stock, brand new phones and apparently it's a wide spread
issue:

Do you lock the screen while whatsapp is open? Or do you choose whatsapp and then lock the screen?
If whatsapp is still running and on the screen, and you lock the screen, it's like the app just stops checking.. I've had this with multiple phones and its a whatsapp problem, not the phone.

No, the opposite. For me, whatsapp only worked and checked for msgs if i closed the app and then locked the screen. I would usually come back to the homescreen or something. But if i locked over whatsapp, it would stop checking or take a really long time.
But since you say you've done both, I'm kinda stumped.

Currently trying to installing .763, updated from .762, but whatsapp servers are probably getting busted as can't even verify my number.
Bro install Whatsapp+.
Google and download the apk,install and see if it helps.
If not, the only way is to root the S4 and install push notification fixer from play store. It modifies andriod to check for msges every 5mins. That will solve your problem for sure.

Hey mate,
I've probably tried all apps or methods by insanity to try getting this problem fixed. Unfortunately, nothing positive turned out.
Now I'm trying to off my screen when whatsapp is open, however, I still think it's unbelievably stupid to do so even if it works to get push notification. How can I go back to whatsapp whenever i wanna put the phone back in my jeans pocket? It then seems whatsapp would become the new homescreen?!?!?
Anyone got a real solution to this???
Also having this problem. Screen off, screen on - sometimes whatsapp just doesn't want to receive/send messages. Other times it's working properly.
Have you guys disabled Samsung Push? Have you disabled any system apps at all? Also, do you have the problem even when your phone has a good signal?
I'm also trying to find out the reason for this problem.

I do disable some system app like weather, finance and stuff like those. To me, what I can confirm is the independence of problem from the signal strength since I've been using the same service provider before upgrading to Jelly Bean and there used to be problem free with the push notification.
This is the result I got last night:
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> homescreen -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> close whatsapp -> free ram -> screen off = no push
- open whatsapp -> screen off = push
Conclusion:
- it is not related to free ram
- it is the problem that the andriod system turn off the app upon screen off (or sleep)
Plus.
I tried installing Push Notification Fixer to introduce "heartbeat" to maintain the connectivity, unfortunately, it DOES NOT work in my case.
Let's keep in view the development. At least we are not alone and hope either Whatsapp or Google can fix this.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357417
It's a thread which guides you how to disable some allegedly useless google services in order to save battery life when idle. It works, but I think it might have been what's caused my whatsapp to go crazy. I even asked in the thread and some others have the same problem.
But if most other people in this thread haven't disabled said google services, that doesn't make any sense.
Mate. Trust me i know this issue exist on all andriod. i googled the hell out of it because i quarrelled with my partner a few times due to delay in replies. its just the way the kernel is written for stock andriod. you can try everything but it wont work. your only solution is to root and install push notification fixer from play store.

This isn't an issue with android it's an issue with whatsapp. Every android phone I've ever owned has had this issue with whatsapp. Whatsapp need to update their app so it still notifies if it was the last app open whilst the screen locks.
I just press home after I reply and let it lock its second nature to me. The bug is in whatsapp where if it is the last displayed whilst screen lock notifications don't work. You could try changing the conversation tone that might help.

That's wrong... It was perfectly fine, instantly receiving whatsapp messages in my phone no matter what. Something I've changed caused it to stop working.
My problem isn't only the notifications, it's the actual whatsapp messages aswell. Something killed the Whatsapp wakelocks, now my whatsapp isn't causing any wakelocks and when the phone is idle it does not check for messages.

This is a BIG DEAL for those on Republic Wireless.
Once we received the 4.4.2 update, outgoing texts would completely disappear (from Motorola Connect) whether you sent them from the phone, or from Moto Connect.
For example: If I sent a text to my friend saying "hello", it WOULD get sent, but the moment Moto Connect refreshed, the sent message would disappear. This made an entire text conversation look like a one-way conversation and was confusing and irritating. ("Did I already reply to that message or not?!?!")
With the new update, ALL messages, sent or received are displayed whether they are sent from the phone itself or from Connect.
This was a known issue on RW phones (because texts are sent through their unique hybrid WiFi / Cell system), and they acknowledged it and claimed to be working on it.
This update was the solution!
I recommend that all RW users update to the new versions ASAP.
Thanks OP

the big deal is that u can now do a phone search from the app in the computer. so if it is lost in the house or anywhere for that matter you can ring it from motorola connect. this is new functionality to this service.
some people may consider it a big deal that you can now have an app icon available so that you don't have to scroll through the settings to get to the program.

Yeah I forgot about the ring feature. That is a nice feature. I haven't used it much since updating this evening, but I just sure hope the performance is improved. Before it worked about 8 times out of 10. Which is pretty good, but when I send a lot of texts and than a random text doesn't go through, it's kinda annoying.
Motorola Connect still doesn't work for me even with this update.
Oh well
Not anything big but one or two nice touches. Still hit and miss for me regarding the connection between my phone and the app.

to start i don't use this so i am not sure if this is what they mean or not. BUT chrome has an app tray. mine is located on the favorites bar on the far left and it says apps. It is where chrome apps are located. I would presume what they mean is that the app tray in chrome now has a connect icon you can click on to launch it. chrome in the past couple months added this app tray i believe where app icons are located. previously to launch an app that was not running you either had to go to their web page or open up settings and launch it. now there is an app tray. you can also put an app tray icon on your desktop as well as have one sitting in your bottom right corner of windows for easy access to chrome apps. I could be wrong but this is what i would assume they meant.
Well the new update is working flawlessly for me.. Earlier it was not connecting and even if connected, it wont get updated automatically when some new message or call is received.. Now the chrome shows the updates within 5 secs and replying is working too.. :thumbup:

Cool update but I keep this off my home computer because I find my phone stays awake a lot with connect. I wish it was more passive

to start i don't use this so i am not sure if this is what they mean or not. BUT chrome has an app tray. mine is located on the favorites bar on the far left and it says apps. It is where chrome apps are located.

You can give this a try - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2641557
The app hasn't been updated by the dev in ages but it still works, even with marshmallow.

I don't know if you are on MM yet but I noticed that there is a thing under App's (on MM) in settings where you can set what apps draw over e.g.. facebook chat bubbles. I think if you enable your apps that you want notifying you on lock-screen to draw over mode then it may show on lock-screen. Its working so far for my weather updates from google app... I could be entirely wrong and I am using a fairly wonky build of MM but I just thought I would offer my insight Best of luck bud.

I am not on marshmallow as yet waiting for the Ota
I'm sure MM will fix that for you bud!
I do know the struggle, waiting on OTA's for us in New Zealand is painful. On top of the fact that before I went MM I wasn't getting notifications at all, calls missed cause it wasn't bringing the call screen up...all sorts of havoc.
Worst comes to worst you could try factory restore, then do the theme thing that other guy mentioned. You should technically have a default, it's weird you are missing it.

Hey guys!
I just moved from a rooted LG G4 running Lollipop to the S8 Exynos. It really seems to be a great phone but I'm having issues with WhatsApp.
Sometimes I feel like the messages aren't really coming up in time, I can open the app and see no new message, close the app, open it again and it will reconnect and show me new messages.
It is even more noticeable while using the WhatsApp desktop program on Windows 10. I see a lot of yellow messages saying I'm not connected to the phone OR when I send a messages I see the "clock" instead of the single-double check right away.
My WiFi setting is set to "Always".
I'm not using any battery save option from the phone.
I installed Greenify (not rooted) but WhatsApp is not in the list to hibernate
Any ideas of what is going on? I didn't have this problem on the G4.
have you added whatsapp into the 'unmonitored apps' section in battery settings?
Can you check BBS and see if WA is using crazy amount of sensor usage? Mine is. I had to turn off battery optimization for WA to work.

It is there. I don't remember adding it into the unmonitored apps but it is there.

Sorry, what is BBS?
I've been playing and trying to figure out what is going on. I found out that my phone is running on "optimized" and not in High Performance, Game or Entertainment. Do you guys think this has something to do with it? It shouldn't be this way right? I also have WhatsApp set to ignore any battery save option, according to the app options.
Also, yesterday I turned off my router. I received a message just before turning it off and I saw the notification on the Windows program like I usually do but it took a couple of minutes for the phone to let me know I received a notification, even though the phone had no connection to the internet. lol what?

Thanks! I downloaded the app but I need to do the ADB thing and I left the USB cable at home lol (now I need to buy multiple ones and aren't cheap)
I also noticed that I do receive the visual notifications (like in the notification bar) but the sound and LED notification comes way later.
Anyone solve the sensor issues
I was finally able to solve this problem and decided to put how I did it in case anyone can benefit from it.
I did check that Whatsapp was listed as "Unmonitored apps" in the battery section of device manager, but still had the problem. After further internet research I noticed that people where pointing to the Android's Optimize battery section, which seems that is doing a very similar functionality but is accessed from a completely different place, so make sure Whatsapp is not being "optimized" from here either.
To find this section go to Settings-> Apps -> Click the 3 Dots menu in the top right -> Special access -> Optimize battery usage -> Select "All apps" from the dropdown menu. In here, make sure Whatsapp and any other app that you cannot risk to go to sleep unintended shows as disabled (not being optimized).
Hope this helps someone with this disconnections.
